"Spooky" is the fifth episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on October 12, 2003.

Plot[]

It is Halloween, and Lilo shows up at the hula school costume party dressed as a dead hula girl and wearing an axe headband. However, after scaring the party guests, she is sent back home by Moses to change into a more decent costume. He suggests that Lilo should return to the party as a princess just like Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki.

At home, Nani has some candy ready for trick or treaters, who do not often come to the house, because according to Lilo, "nobody goes to the weirdo's house". Pleakley and Jumba are trying to figure out what kind of costumes to wear. Lilo asks Pleakley to make her a princess costume. While waiting, she meets up with Stitch in their tower. They talk about being scared, though Stitch claims that he fears nothing. Lilo admits that she is afraid of broccoli, clowns and a creepy old abandoned house that is on a hill. However, she shows Stitch that whenever she gets scared she sings "Aloha ʻOe" to help her cope with the heebie-jeebies.

Meanwhile back at the party, A hissing shape shifting blob with green eyes shows up as a headless Lilo and then as a giant spider. It scares Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki, and then the entire party who all run away in fear. Lilo, now in a princess costume, returns to the party with Stitch, only for the two of them to find place totally trashed and deserted. While Stitch goes off to search the kitchen, Lilo finds Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki hiding under a table, terrified. While searching the fridge, Stitch comes face to face with the shape shifting blob which turns into water. Stitch becomes terrified and desperately tries to get to high ground. He almost drowns until the blob hears Lilo looking for him and flees. Lilo finds Stitch terrified frantically saying "hissing green eyes". Lilo is suspicious because Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki too said they saw something hissing with green eyes.

Lilo and Stitch return home to check Jumba's computer. Stitch has become so terrified of what he saw that he starts boarding up the windows and rearranging the furniture to keep the monster out. Lilo finds a match to the description Stitch and the girls made. The hissing blob with green eyes is Experiment 300: designed to terrorize people by transforming itself into their worst fears. Lilo and Stitch go out to find 300, but with everyone dressed all scary it could be anyone. When Lilo and Stitch go out to find 300, the search backfired, mainly due to Stitch, who has been reduced into a mere coward as the result of the traumatic experience he had earlier from that point, starts capturing everyone, including Lilo, thinking that everyone in Halloween costumes are 300 transformed as them.

At some point, Experiment 300 shows up at Lilo's house as Nani's worst fear, Cobra Bubbles saying he is going to take Lilo away. When Lilo and Stitch return home from a failed search, Lilo quickly identifies Mr. Bubbles as Experiment 300 when he gives off a hiss. They rush in to capture him, but he escapes. Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley chase after Experiment 300, with Lilo now calling him "Spooky", to the old abandoned house that Lilo is afraid of. Despite both being very scared, Lilo and Stitch bravely enter the house while Lilo sings to herself "Aloha ʻOe". Spooky continues to terrify all four of them with their worst fears. Even Stitch is too scared, especially after falling into an abandoned swimming pool. However, by singing "Aloha ʻOe" to himself, he is able to overcome the heebie-jeebies. When Spooky notices that Stitch has faced his fears, and was thus undaunted by any other scary transformations, the former turns into a bat to escape, but is ambushed and captured.

Afterwards, Spooky finds his one true place, scaring trick-or-treaters on Halloween and haunting the old abandoned house.

Goof[]

  • Early in the episode, Moses offers one of the kids at the Halloween party a "papaya", which is in the shape of a lemon (similar to one of the lemons Stitch tries and fails to eat later in the episode).
  • When Nani is in the house watching a scary movie, she is barefoot, but when she is talking to Cobra (really Spooky), she is wearing sandals. When she and Lilo fall backwards to the couch, she is barefoot again.

Trivia[]

  • Moral: If you face your fears, you'll likely get over them.
  • Jumba referred to Spooky as "X-300" (ex three hundred) and mentions that his impression of Jumba's ex-wife is frightening, comparing her to a particular fish resembling a lamprey eel, which reminds him of her "before face-lift".
  • Lilo's "storybook princess" dress, which Pleakley designed for her, bears a striking resemblance to that of Cinderella's ball gown from Cinderella. Lilo would later wear this princess dress in the episode "Tank".
  • Lilo revealed that she is afraid of broccoli and clowns, the latter being her worst fear.
  • Mertle shows a little compassion when she admits that Lilo should attend the Halloween party, and that she was right about Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki's costumes being too boring. Regardless, Yuki points out that Mertle forced them to do this in the first place.
  • One of the costumes that Jumba and Pleakley try to wear are similar to the appearances of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara from the 1939 film Gone with the Wind.
  • Stitch spat out a lemon, saying, "Ew, organic!", implying he might not like lemons.
    • However, in "Shortstuff", Stitch, as a giant, drank some lemonade from the cart he accidentally smashed without expressing any disgust, and in "Swapper", he drank a whole bowl of lemonade (albeit modified by Jumba to cause those who drink it to temporarily change colors), again without expressing any disgust, which would contradict this supposed dislike of lemons. It could be that either Stitch doesn't like organically-grown foods (as his heightened senses might have the unintended side effect of him tasting even the tiniest amounts of manure residue), he doesn't like the taste of unsweetened lemons or lemon juice, or him spitting out the organic lemon was nothing more than a simple joke.
  • When Spooky shapeshifts into Cobra, the voice was provided by Ving Rhames, the original voice of Cobra in Lilo & Stitch.
  • It would seem that, according to Spooky's impression of Jumba's ex-wife, Jumba's alien species naturally has poor grammar with regards to English.
  • When Stitch hangs on to a plank in the abandoned swimming pool and stares down at the water in fear, the light reflections on his eyes are temporarily used as pupils.
  • Lilo and Stitch use the song "Aloha ʻOe" from the original movie as a coping tactic to overcome their worst fears.
  • Despite Gantu not appearing in person in this episode, a crudely-drawn graffiti picture of him (complete with Lilo's nickname towards him: "Big Dummy") can be spotted in a brief cameo on a bookshelf during the scene where Stitch eats the candy which is meant for the Halloween trick-or-treaters coming to the Pelekai residence.
    • On the earliest standard-definition airings of this episode, such as Disney Channel SD, due to the episode being originally broadcast in the cropped 4:3 pan-and-scan version instead of its original 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, this cameo picture of Gantu cannot be spotted, due to it being cropped out from the shot in the 4:3 pan-and-scan version.
  • This episode originally premiered in the United States on October 13, 2003, which was exactly 18 days before Halloween that year. Ironically, this episode originally premiered in the United Kingdom for the first time exactly on October 31, 2003, coinciding with Halloween that year.
